On Abit IP-35, if the bios contains both LGA 775 and LGA 771 micorcodes, it will not work with Windows 8.1 and higher. Windows 8 and bellow still work even if the microcodes are for both platforms in the bios.

ONLY FOR ABIT IP-35 – Moding the bios – E0

I have modded the last bios(the E0 version) released for this MB, to include only 45nm processors on platform 771, removing the 775 45nm.

This can work with other processors but I have not tested it.

As far as I know, E0 is the last supported stepping on ABIT-IP35.

The last bios that was released for this MB is considered by some to be v18 but that’s WRONG. There was an E0 version that included both 775 and 771 CPU microcodes.

These are the microcodes of the original bios:

diyrno_M630A_e0_orig_microcodes_150813

The mod consists of removing the CPUID 1067A – Plat 0,4 – that is 45nm CPUs on LGA775

The modded bios contents:

diyrno_bios_771only_edited_e0771M630A_170127

Now only CPUID 1067A is on Plat 2,6 – meaning LGA771 socket and 45nm CPU.

This is the bios file already modded, just needs to be flashed – use only after reading all warnings bellow!

Now, please, PLEASE note that YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

YOUR COMPUTER MAY NOT WORK AFTER USING THIS MODDED BIOS.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR OWN ACTIONS!

IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING STOP NOW!

THIS BIOS IS ONLY FOR ABIT IP-35 AND MIGHT WORK ON IP35-E(but I’have not tested it on that MB), — IT WILL NOT WORK FOR THE I-P-35 -PRO

What CPU you were using to update BIOS? I’m planning to install X5460 on my IP35 board. Should I install Xeon first and then update to your 771 only BIOS or its gonna be fine if I use regular 775 CPU (C2D E7300 in my case)?

I did the bios update before and after installing the Xeon because I tried bioses that didn’t work. The MB still powers on even if the CPU is not recognized but it’s better to do the bios before installing the new CPU. Cheers!
